Ingredients
– 9 oz Andouille sausage Provides smoky, spicy flavor
– 4 oz Cranberry Cheddar cheese Adds creamy, tangy notes
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Used for cooking the sausage
– 1/3 cup cranberry sauce Brings sweetness and tartness
– 24 appetizer picks For serving and presentation
Instructions
1-Heat oil and cook sausage slices: Start by heating the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. This sets the stage for cooking the sausage to perfection, infusing it with a golden brown crust.
2-Drain and cool the sausage: Next, add the 3 links of Andouille sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces, to the skillet. Cook them for 3-4 minutes per side until they’re fully cooked and have a nice browning. Once done, remove the slices and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any excess oil.
3-Cube the cheese and prepare picks: Then, cut the 4 oz of Cranberry Cheddar cheese into small cubes for easy skewering. Now, assemble your bites by skewering a sausage slice with a cheese cube on one of the 24 appetizer picks.
4-Skewer and add sauce: Top each with a dollop of 1/3 cup cranberry sauce, and you’re ready to serve.
5-Serve immediately for the best taste: Serve immediately for the best taste.
